For OpEdNews: Katie Hickox - Writer October 22, 2008 Despite all of the public interest in and enthusiasm for the 2008 campaign, despite all the new voter registrations, on November 4 the number of votes cast may be considerably fewer than 120 million votes counted for Bush and Kerry in 2004. Maybe as much as 10% fewer.

Subject: Fantastic editorial on massive voter purges
~~
Why?
Start with the fact that 39 states already have purged 13 million voters off the voters' rolls since 2004.
Yes, you heard that right. At least 13 million voters have been purged from the rolls since 2004. That's 10% of the 120 million votes cast in 2004 and twice as many voters than have just been added through massive registration drives.
In many states, the number of names dropped from the voters' lists has been breathtaking: 17% in Colorado, 15% in Washington State, 14% in New York, 13% in Nevada, 10% in Missouri.
